27. In a similar vein, Procaccia and Gitterman (Refs. 49, 50) suggested that critical slowing down would slow reaction rates, but their analysis was later demonstrated to be in error (Refs. 51 and 52).
28. -ν) is ν=0.63 and 1.0 in three and two dimensions, respectively. This expected similarity between 2D and 3D supercritical behavior has already been validated by two recent results. First, preliminary simulations of a 3D supercritical Lennard-Jones fluid by H. L. Martinez, S. G. Srinivasan, and S. C. Tucker show qualitatively similar local density behavior as was observed in 2D supercritical Lennard-Jones fluids (see Refs. 22, 38, and 53). Second, we have recently demonstrated (Ref. 39) that the 2D system studied herein reproduces the density-dependence observed experimentally for vibrational relaxation lifetimes in 3D supercritical fluids.

At each state point, the system was equilibrated for 80 000 time steps, during which velocity rescaling was performed every 31 times steps. Data were subsequently collected over 1000 blocks of 4000 time steps each, with 200 time-step velocity-rescaled equilibrations occurring between blocks.
